How to choose a rabbit or dual vibe

When rabbit vibes first hit the scene, they all followed a familiar formula: long shaft, rotating beads, and, per their name, an animal-shaped clitoral stimulator. Now, though, increasingly creative manufacturers have taken the general idea of the rabbit and revolutionized it, creating new shapes and new sensations. The result is a greater selection of dual vibes than ever before!

Dual vibes are unique because their job is to succeed at two types of stimulation — vaginal penetration and clitoral stimulation — at once. Because dual toys feature two different parts that work in tandem, there’s even more to consider when picking one out. Let us guide you!

Size is, well, a biggie

Everyone has different priorities when perusing sex toys, but the size and shape of a dual vibe could be the first characteristic you use to narrow the field. Since dual vibes require you to insert the shaft almost completely to take advantage of the clitoral stimulator, the length of the insertable part  of the toy is super important. If your cervix is easily irritated or your vaginal canal is short, you’ll want to look at shorter shafted toys (under 4″ insertable or so). Our rabbits with the shortest insertable lengths are the Fun Factory Miss Bi (3″ insertable) and the Butterfly Bliss (2.75″ insertable).

Fun Factory Amorino

Girth, of course, is equally important. You don’t want to select a toy that is too big for you, or conversely, one that doesn’t fill you up enough! Find something that already feels great to you vaginally — like a toy, a penis, or a set of fingers — and measure it to get an idea of the diameter you prefer.

Some dual vibes put extra emphasis on G-spot stimulation with their curved and pronounced heads. If G-spotting bliss is what you’re after, take a look at rabbit vibrators from LELO, such as the Ina and Ina Wave, or the Fun Factory Miss Bi.

Finally, the clitoral stimulator can take many forms, from the classic rabbit ears to more abstract shapes. Do you like the tickle of the rabbit ears? The Vibratex Rabbit Habit is perfect for that. If you prefer more direct stimulation, or even pressure, on your clit, the LELO Ina, Picobong Kaya, Fun Factory Miss BiLELO Ina Wave, and OhMiBod Freestyle W provide that instead. More broad, overall vulva stimulation can be found with the Fun Factory Amorino.

Go by feel

Fun Factory Lady Bi

Almost all of our dual vibes are made of silicone, but there is a lot of variation in texture and hardness. Toys like the PicoBong Kaya have a velvety smooth surface but are very firm to the touch, whereas toys like the Fun Factory Lady Bi have more give to them. Harder vibes are ideal for targeted G-spot stimulation, but softer vibes have a more plush feel.

The only non-silicone dual vibe we carry is the Vibratex Rabbit Habit, which is made of a body-safe elastomer.

Ask yourself what kind of stimulation you like

Power level is usually an important factor in any vibrator purchase, and it’s doubly important in the realm of dual vibes. There are both battery-powered and rechargeable dual toys. Some are equipped with a single motor, while others have two that can be controlled separately. Some have an array of vibration patterns to choose from. The LELO Ina 2 and Fun Factory Lady Bi/Miss Bi are our most powerful rabbits, and they also feature dual motors and vibration patterns.

Bodywand Rabbit Attachment

If you’re a real power fiend, though, here’s an interesting idea: what if you were to purchase a wand-style toy with an attachment? We carry several attachments for the Hitachi/Bodywand, and one for the Vibratex Mystic Wand, all of which provide internal and external stimulation simultaneously… and mega power to boot! The Bodywand Rabbit Attachment is the closest to the classic dual shape.

LELO Ina Wave

If you’re intrigued by the classic rabbit’s set of beads in the shaft that rotate to stimulate the vaginal opening and walls, the Vibratex Rabbit Habit — which is the most similar to the rabbit made famous by Sex in the City — should satisfy. Similarly, the Vibratex Violet has a bulbous head that rotates in either direction, and the shaft of the LELO Ina Wave mimics a “come hither” up-and-down motion.

Or, for something completely different, check out the Fun Factory Bi Stronic Fusion. The shaft thrusts back and forth rather than vibrating, while the clitoral part vibrates.

A different style of dual vibe is the C-shaped type, the most popular being the We-Vibe 4 Plus. This vibe is ideal for folks who like hands free stimulation and more shallow penetration. The LELO Ida serves a similar purpose.

While we’re on the subject of uniqueness, the Freestyle W is the only dual vibe that vibrates along to your favorite songs, and the Fun Factory Amorino is the only one with a removable silicone band that transmits vibrations all over the vulva.

Miscellaneous factors

If taking your toy in the bath is high on your list of requirements, the LELO Ina 2LELO Ina Wave, Fun Factory Miss Bi, Fun Factory Amorino, Fun Factory Bi Stronic Fusion, and Fun Factory Lady Bi are all submersible. You’re definitely not limited there!

If noise is of utmost concern, the quietest dual vibes we carry are the Fun Factory Lady Bi/Miss BiLELO Ina 2, and We-Vibe 4 Plus.

Two can be better than one

While it’s certainly tempting to try to find a single toy that does everything you want all at once, there’s a whole wide world of dildos and mini vibes out there that can be combined for just as wonderful simultaneous stimulation. In fact, there are even a couple small vibrators that resemble the ears of a rabbit, and a rabbit-shaped sleeve that can fit on a variety of toys.

Wielding two toys is especially useful if you want G-spot stimulation — which often requires thrusting — coupled with consistent clitoral buzz. Plus, dildos come in all kinds of glorious materials (glass, metal, wood) that offer an entirely different sensation from silicone.

When searching for an insertable and a clit vibe to use together, make sure neither toy will get in the way of the other during use. Avoid any clitoral toy that looks too bulky, and any insertable that could block access to your clit — we don’t want a conflict there! Ergonomic toys are especially important for this purpose, since you’ll have both hands full.

Speaking of keeping your hands full, it might be worth a trip to the shop to feel these vibes in person. Some textures and functions are better felt than described! Our staff can also help you make a decision, either in person or via email. But hopefully this walkthrough has given you some guidance on what kind of dual vibe could really rock your world.
